Wrong country, i'm in the UK, but thank you.
I do have a couple of places which members have contacted me about though.

Just got back from a trip to Mappin & Webb via getting the motorbike MOT'd.
Probably not the best idea to visit in bike gear and helmet but still £1000 minimum and a 12 month wait :shock:
That's almost as good as printing your own money.


Yeah that will be via breitling UK for a full and complete refurb and with a mappin & webb tax added on. Seriously..don't bother.

Use craig (chronodeco) on here, or I can recommend someone in the uk - breitling authorised- who looks after my top times (2002 reference models - very similar).

Thanks for all the recommendations fellas, i did in fact send the watch off to Stephen Burridge at Ryte Time who has done a fantastic job in a very short time.
I am more than pleased, it feels much safer to wind and adjust for a start.
It's nice to own something my Father wore and for me to leave it to my children.

And a third!
Glad Mr Burrage did a good job. He serviced an 806 for me last summer and did a good job then too. Would recommend for vintage servicing work in the UK.
